Can somebody help me translate these sentences?

Postby bkd46912312 » September 8th, 2014 12:34 am

相手の持ちものをほめましょう。いいものをほめましょう。

I know the first two characters have something to do with .. Companions. And 'mashou' means Let's or something but I can't figure out how to put the sentence together. I also don't know how to make kanji into romaji/kana. I know the hiragana characters in this sentence.

Thanks

bkd46912312 san,

konnichiwa.

They are interesting sentences.
Where are they from?

By the way
相手の持ちものをほめましょう means ‘let’s prise other people’s belongings. Let’s say something good to others’ belongings’.

いいものをほめましょうmeans “let’say ‘good’when you see something good!”.

bkd46912312 さん、

I see.
What a good library that is! :D

I guess the sentences are instructions for exercises using adjectives?

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.
